What term describes an organism with two different alleles for a trait?

Heterozygous, or hybrid. This being because a heterozygous and a hybrid mean that they phenotype consists of two different genes. For example straight hair is dominant to curly hair, S being straight and s being curly. Some people may have SS, meaning they have straight hair, and others may have ss, meaning they have color hair. But in some cases, some people would have Ss making them heterozygous. SS or ss would be homozygous.


What is genotype AS SS AAA?

You cannot do a cross to determine the genotypes of individuals because there is only one gene here. Genotype consists of the entire genetic makeup of the individual, which cannot be determined by a single gene. Only the alleles S or s is used to express this particular gene. If you're looking for a monohybrid cross between Ss and Ss, while separately wanting a result between ss and ss, then the answers are as follows: Ss x Ss 25% SS 50% Ss 25% ss ss x ss = 100% ss


What is the name of blood test that says you are 'AA' or 'AS or'SS'?

The blood test is called a hemoglobin electrophoresis test, which is used to determine an individual's hemoglobin genotype. A result of 'AA' indicates normal hemoglobin, 'AS' indicates sickle cell trait (carrier), and 'SS' indicates sickle cell disease.


What does SS mean in biotechnology?

SS in biotechnology often refers to "Stainless Steel," which is commonly used in the construction of equipment like bioreactors, fermenters, and other vessels that are used in bioprocessing. Stainless steel is preferred due to its durability, resistance to corrosion, and ease of sterilization, making it suitable for use in manufacturing processes in biotechnology.


What does the letters ss means in biotechnology ss?

In biotechnology, "ss" typically refers to single-stranded DNA or RNA. Single-stranded refers to a molecule that is composed of a single chain of nucleotides, as opposed to double-stranded which consists of two complementary strands. Single-stranded nucleic acids play various important roles in processes like transcription and RNA interference.
